Abstract

Cyclosorusparasiticus(Linn.) Farwell is one potential medicinal ferns. The plant contains secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids and alkaloids. This study aims to determine the flavonoid and alkanoidofCyclosorusparasiticus (Linn.) Farwell in three plantation areas ofÂ Jember Regency. Plant samples were collected from Mount Gumitir coffee plantations, Pine Garahan Village and rubber and cocoa plantations in Tancak in Jember. Samples of stemsÂ and leaves were dried at room temperature and then blended to obtain a powder. One gram of powder samples was macerated in 90 ml of methanol for 3x24 hours then was concentrated with an evaporator to obtain a crude extract. The crude extract was tested qualitatively for flavonoids and alkaloids by the WillstÃ¤tter and Dragendorff methods followed by quantitatively tests with Spectrophotometric. The results showed thatboth flavonoids and alkaloids were found in stem and leavesof Cyclosorusparasiticus (Linn) Farwell growing at three research locations. The flavonoids and alkaloidsin content found in leaveswas higher than those in stem organs. The leaves of Cyclosorusparasiticus (Linn) Farwell in Gumitir contain the highest flavonoids and alkaloidscontentsthan those in Tancak.

Summary

Introduction

Previous research reported thatCyclosorus parasiticus (Linn.) Farwell Cyclosorusparasiticus contains several is one of the thelypteridaceae fern tribe secondary metabolites, among them are that has characteristics such as fibrous flavonoids and alkaloids found in the leaves blackish brown root, green stem, hairy, (Tangavelou and Viswanathan, 2017).brown base and scaly. Cyclosorus parasiticus (Linn.) Farwell Cyclosorusparasiticus contains several is one of the thelypteridaceae fern tribe secondary metabolites, among them are that has characteristics such as fibrous flavonoids and alkaloids found in the leaves blackish brown root, green stem, hairy, (Tangavelou and Viswanathan, 2017). The content of secondary metabolites bothsterile and fertile leaves have the same such as flavonoids and alkaloids ferns shape (lancet) and size. Round, arranged plant parts, age, harvesting extraction and regularly cover the entire edge of the leaves methods (Chikmawati et al, 2013, and (Duncan and Isaac, 1986; Cobb and Nasution et al, 2018). Et al (2015) the composition of these These ferns are generally grown in secondary metabolites varies in plants tropical and subtropical regions such as organs.
